This denomination depicts the equestrian figure of Allan Wilson. The illustration is taken from the frieze of the memorial to the Shangani Patrol and its leader Allan Wilson, all of whom were annihilated in an heroic engagement during the Matabele War of 1893. The memorial is situated in the Matopos Hills close by the grave of Cecil John Rhodes in a setting of stark granite hills, at a place known as the “View of the World”.
